I am going to assume that spare parts may also be more readily available for the Bastuck?

A Helix disk 1" x 10 splines won't slide over the Bastuck input shaft, unless the splines are made a bit smaller. Bastuck is selling the main shaft for an J-type overdrive. I think no one is selling A-type o/d dog box mainshafts. My first dog box(2005) was a Quaife dog box with the 23 splines Ford input shaft and contrary to Keith Files experience (maybe his Quaife box is from a newer production run?), it worked perfectly (as my Bastuck dog box does now) for 6 years and then the input shaft was bent after the clutch exploded at a logged 8250 rpm, caused by a piece of aluminium that blocked the throttle in wide open position for some 3 seconds. No one is selling an o/d main shaft for the Quaife dog box.
